St.-Jakob-Kirche, Medieval church in Penzing, Vienna, Austria.

St.-Jakob-Kirche features a tall tower with a steep roof, replacing the previous onion dome that was destroyed during the 1945 fire.

The church originated from a chapel built in 1267 on oak-covered land donated by Rudeger von Rodaun, and suffered damage during the Turkish sieges of 1529 and 1683.

The main altar, installed in 1776, represents a donation from Archbishop Cardinal Count Christoph Anton von Migazzi, demonstrating the religious patronage of the period.

The church office operates from Tuesday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 11:30 AM, with the building remaining open daily from 6:00 AM until 10:00 PM.

A late Gothic tabernacle pillar from the 15th century stands in front of the church, originally serving as a light column in the cemetery.
